Taking Things Slow
Vientiane is an excellent choice for tourists who don’t want to fit too many activities into one day. Rather than rushing around to see different attractions, you can take it easy.
Begin your day with breakfast, explore the streets, then grab a beverage at a comfortable café before returning to your 5-star hotel in Vientiane. The slower pace will help you notice things that you might miss when travelling too quickly.
Discover Temples Without the Rush
The temples of Vientiane, like Pha That Luang, provide a perfect setting for meditation. This temple is an important monument in Laos, known for its unique architecture.
Wat Si Saket is another famous temple and has a collection of small Buddha images. It is also within easy reach of top accommodation options in the area like Avani+ Lanexang Vientiane Hotel.
Unwind by the Mekong
When evening falls, head toward the Mekong River to watch the sunset. You can go for a walk by the riverfront, explore more of Vientiane while you wait, and wind down with a cool drink.
Make Time for Local Flavours
Trying out the local cuisine is another way you can take things easy in the city by sitting down to a delicious lunch and tasting Lao specialities. You can also sample fresh fruits from the local market while also experiencing the day-to-day vibe of the city, and finally, have dinner at one of the restaurants along the river bank.
